From the back you will want to make an angled cut that will go under the belly (unless you make a short shirt) so it don't get wet when they are wearing it and then cut two arm holes where the front legs will go. Then dress it up with some iron on patches or puff paint or anything fun (one of my friends made her dog a shirt like this for their favorite football team). You could even leave the end a little long and then every 1/2 in make 2 in slit all the way around and then thread a bead on the peices and tie a knot to keep them on and you would have a cool 1980's shirt.
Don't have any sweatshirts lying around? Hit up a second hand store.
Best of luck. |
OMG! I thought I was the only one who did this! You can hem the cut off end if you want and decorate how you want...buttons, bows...be creative! I made several for our first Yorkie...doggie clothing wasn't 'in fashion' 15 years ago and he was so tiny that I had to do something for him and believe me...this works great!
